Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Puneri Paltan (JAI vs PUN) 86th Match Preview - PKL 2025
Jaipur Pink Panthers Preview
Jaipur’s season has gone off track, slipping to 9th after three straight defeats. With Nitin Kumar Dhankar still regaining fitness, their attack lacks bite. Before injury, he had 7 Super 10s in 10 matches; since returning, he’s struggled for points.
Ali Samadi remains their lone match-winner, but over-reliance on him against elite defences has hurt. Defensively, Jaipur rank among the league’s weakest — just 39% tackle success and 9.2 points per match.
When the defence hits 10+ tackle points, they compete; otherwise, defeat follows. Aryan Kumar, Reza Mirbagheri, and Deepanshu Khatri have shown flashes, but no one averages above 2.5 tackle points. Reza’s recent upturn (51% SR in last 8 games) is a rare positive sign.
Puneri Paltan Preview
Puneri Paltan are in peak form — six wins in a row and already playoff-qualified. Their tie-breaker win over Dabang Delhi showcased champion mentality.
The raiding duo of Aditya Shinde (113 raid points, 66% SR) and Pankaj Mohite (90 raid points, 48% SR) have powered a balanced attack that’s delivered 318 raid points in 15 matches (51% SR).
Shinde’s consistency and late-game dominance (74% SR in final 10 mins) keep Pune unbeaten whenever he registers a Super 10. With Aslam Inamdar’s leadership and the league’s top defence backing them, Puneri Paltan look unstoppable.
